I love these posts and always save them until I have time to read them properly so as to gain full enjoyment.
I would just like to query one point in the list above (No 16) regarding Huguenots and Fish and chips. Three years ago, after much research, I wrote a book to raise funds for a local charity and in it I included that the French gave us the idea for chips but that fried fish had been sold by itself in this country for decades before this. I had discovered that it was Angela Burdet-Coutts who had in fact suggested that the two items should be put together and sold as a complete meal - thus the marriage of fish and chips came into being.Good afternoon,
